That'll Be the Day brings nostalgia, music and mirth to Leicester

With songs by The Ronettes, The Beatles, Cliff Richard, ABBA, Tom Jones, Barbara Dickson, and Elaine Paige, That’ll Be The Day promises plenty of blasts from the past. It features more than 60 nostalgic hits and timeless treasures some may have forgotten, with musical accompaniment from a multi-talented band.

In addition to the music, That’ll Be The Day delves into the cultural soul of the past, journeying audiences through the period’s most beloved comedy sketches, adverts and more, for an evening of time travel through one of music’s golden eras.

That’ll Be The Day is marking its own 40th anniversary this year. It has raised over £1 million for Childline, Make A Wish, Help for Heroes, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, and numerous appeals, including the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal, through post-show bucket collections.

Trevor Payne, director, producer and vocalist for That’ll Be The Day, said: “One of the secrets behind our success is the dedication and hard work of the entire company.

" I’m especially proud that what began as performances in clubs and holiday camps has evolved into the UK’s number one touring rock and roll theatre show. That’ll Be The Day refreshes its content annually and strives to improve production year on year. It is unique in many ways and continues to captivate and delight our loyal army of fans across the country.”

As well as being hugely popular with audiences over the past four decades, the show has won much praise from critics, with five-star reviews from the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, Time Out and The Sun. The Express called it “three hours of music and mayhem” and TIme Out described it as “the best rock ‘n’ roll show on the road”. The Mail said of it: “If you see one show this year, see this one.”

That’ll Be The Day comes to the De Montfort Hall on Thursday May 14. Visit demontforthall.co.uk or call 0116 233 3111 to book.
